Students need 120 hours to graduate from Morehouse College. It is recommended that every student builds a four year plan that maps out all standard curriculum, major and minor requirements. Beginning Fall 2015, these plans will be available through Degree Map, a student advising application that allows advisors, faculty, and students to see how well a student is progressing towards graduation goals.

Degree Map provides timely information to students and limits the overwhelming choices of courses prior to registration. In addition to providing a structured pathway, Degree Map allows academic advisors to provide student-specific notes regarding courses, sequences, and recommendations for each semester. The student and the advisor can see what was advised previously and make appropriate changes quickly based on changing circumstances and the availability of courses.
